IT’S ALL VERY NICE SITTING IN YOUR COMFY CHAIR IN BYRON SHIRE BUT…
Byron Vinnies’ vollies exit Hans Lovejoy
A mass exodus of around 17 longterm volunteers at the Byron Bay St Vincent De Paul centre is being downplayed by management, despite claims of poor treatment and a change in management direction. An increase in the cost of clothing and apparel appears to be also a factor in the fallout. Confirmation of the exodus has been provided by former vollies Bill and Suzanne Wallington, Janet Kershaw, Cathy Stavert, Graeme Gould and wife Lien Dao, Bruce Catlin, Alana Vallentine, Josie Altamura and Lynn (last name withheld). Bill Wallington told The Echo the management initially sacked about five or six volunteers, ‘and made life unpleasant for the rest.’ ‘Long-term volunteers were accused of being petty thieves and lining their own pockets. There was never any proof provided of those claims.’ Mr Wallington said he had been involved with the charity for 30 years and worked in the shop for five years. ‘There was no recognition of the work these volunteers did. There should have been more respect given,’ he said. Former volunteer Cathy Stavert told The Echo issues arose in June after the store started selling women’s dresses between $45 and $145 and handbags for $45. She says she had ‘strips torn off me’ from all levels of management for asking about the price rise. Complaints about management

behaviour also fell on deaf ears, she says. A complaints determination by St Vincent De Paul’s resolution project officer, as supplied to The Echo, says the matter of bullying and discrimination was ‘investigated and is now concluded.’ No information about what action, if any, was taken owing to the ‘confidentiality of others involved.’ Another former volunteer Jane Millar’s claims were previously published in The Echo’s letters pages. Ms Millar wrote, ‘All [dismissed volunteers] were devastated and felt totally disrespected,’ adding that long-term locals stopped coming to the shop.
Vinnies reply Yet a spokesperson from the organisation has told The Echo the seventeen long-term volunteers ‘left of their own accord,’ and that, ‘The long-term relationship between volunteers and shop managers has invariably been excellent, with few complaints ever received.’ St Vincent De Paul also sent a press release last week announcing a new manager for the shop and outlined the assistance they provide to those most in need. A spokesperson for the charity said that the organisation is trying to implement a nationwide strategy for its 240 stores. ‘The key is to increase revenue,’ they said, ‘So we can increase the services we provide. Some volunteers at the store strongly resisted the new direction of management ▶ Continued on page 2

Water extraction concerns Hans Lovejoy
Furious bipartisan agreement has erupted over the issue of water mining in the region, with local Nationals and Labor north coast candidates for the March 2019 election all calling for a full independent inquiry into water extraction on the northern rivers to be carried out before any new proposal is considered. The adoption of environmental concerns by the major parties comes as Tweed Shire residents

ban water mining in NSW. How can millions of dollars a year, for one or two developers, outweigh the protection of our aquifers and freshwater springs so close to the coast and on a warming planet?’ Nationals MLC and 2019 candidate Ben Franklin said in a statement that he ‘met with a range of individuals on the Alstonville plateau who were deeply concerned over the possible impact of a new proposal to extract 100 megalitres ▶ Continued on page 2

Vollies exodus downplayed at Vinnies ▶ Continued from page 1 and didn’t come on board with how we run our shops.’ ‘The Byron store has burnt through three managers in four years,’ they said. The spokesperson rejected the suggestion that higher prices for some items denies those on low incomes the ability to buy nice clothing. ‘Sixty to seventy per cent of all our stock is still at basic prices,’ they said, adding that these prices reflect the entire region, not just Byron Shire. According to the St Vincent De Paul Society, the three shops in Byron Shire – Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads and Byron Bay – are among the most successful of St Vincent de Paul’s 29 shops between Tweed Heads and Port Macquarie. The spokesperson said,
‘The issues raised by these volunteers were not ignored, nor were the individuals personally disrespected. The Society is a caring organisation and to act otherwise would be contrary to our ethos. Many long-term volunteers continue to work in the shop. The shop currently has around 20 volunteers, and there are regular expressions of interest to join the team. The previous manager left to pursue other interests and her departure was not related to any complaints raised.’
Accusations Despite management claiming Byron is among the most successful stores in the region, former volunteer Cathy Stavert says she and other volunteers were accused of underperforming.
‘We were also told we couldn’t give away anything free. After the disagreement with management, I was told to go home for a month and if I was to return I would need to sign something. ‘Our services have not been recognised, we still haven’t received a thankyou. ‘We were told that visitors from Sydney commented that our store was selling goods too cheaply; our comments were that they come from Sydney and are able to holiday in Byron Bay but they don’t live in the community. This is Byron Bay and people are really doing it tough and cannot afford to shop here now with these prices and feel they are being discriminated against. ‘Vinnes are showing a lack of compassion.’

Furious agreement over water extraction concerns ▶ Continued from page 1 of water per year from the Alstonville aquifer.’ He said, ‘I share those concerns and today I am calling on the state government to conduct a full and independent inquiry into the sustainability of the bottled spring water industry. This inquiry should be established immediately and conducted by the chief scientist and engineer.’ Meanwhile, north coast NSW Country Labor candidates say that northern rivers local councils should suspend the granting of future development applications (DAs) for commercial water extraction enterprises, ‘and where applicable remove special clauses in
the Local Environment Plan (LEP) until a full review of the science of water extraction is held.’
Water NSW gutted ‘Council’s primary responsibility is to deal with truck movements, but the water extraction licensing system is run by Water NSW. Water NSW has been gutted under the Liberals/Nationals and compliance actions are nearly non-existent under the Berejiklian – Barilaro Liberal/National government. ‘That’s why we are calling on local councils to hit the pause button on any future development applications involving water extraction for bottling, or where applicable, remove the
clause from their LEP. ‘We urge the Berejiklian – Barilaro NSW government to commit to a comprehensive review of the granting of water extraction licences and specifically the impact on our water table and aquifer.’
Not good business NSW Greens candidate for Lismore Sue Higginson said in a statement, ‘It is not rocket or water science to know that extracting millions of litres of water from our complex groundwater systems to put into plastic bottles, which does not create new jobs in the region, is not good business. We also know that it takes six litres of mined water to make one litre of bottled water.’

Local News Tweed hospital site changes hands Tweed Shire mayor Katie Milne (Greens) has suggested Tweed Council may consider boycotting contractors who work on the new Tweed Hospital site opposite Kingscliff TAFE. Sale of the site, at 771 Cudgen Rd, Cudgen, to NSW Health went through last week. Tweed MP Geoff Provest (Nationals) announced Monday that ownership of the site had transferred to the NSW Government last Friday and that preliminary works were set to commence immediately. Around 100 protesters attempted to block the site on Monday morning to prevent contractors’ vehicles from gaining access.

Mozart’s Requiem performed in honour of Richard Gill OAM Paul Bibby One hundred and ten singers from across the northern rivers will take the stage next month to perform Mozart’s powerful choral work about death, the Requiem, yet there will be one very notable absentee. The man who was to
conduct the performance, Richard Gill OAM, died on October 28 after a year-long battle with cancer. To mark the loss of the legendary classical music figure, the organisers of the event, Byron Music Society, have elected to dedicate the performance to his memory. Music society president
Nicholas Routley said there, ‘couldn’t be a more appropriate work to serve as a memorial’. ‘Not only is the Requiem a work about death, but Richard also loved Mozart above all of the composers,’ said Mr Routley, who will conduct the performance in Richard’s stead.
Dr Gill forged a strong connection with the northern rivers during his illustrious career. The choir will perform alongside the Lismore Symphony Orchestra on December 2 at the Lismore City Hall. For tickets and info visit https://bit.ly/2JGq0wQ.

What’s your relationship with animals and food? In her latest comic Octopus & Lamb, illustrator Holly English explores animal rights in an intimate, accessible and sometimes humorous way. She says, ‘I’m not vegan, I’m not even vegetarian’. ‘But I’m concerned about the way animals are treated in our meat, dairy and petfood industries. ‘I can understand when there is a health issue, disability or poverty that eating animal products may

Nats MLC explains power policy A new damning report from the NSW Energy and Water Ombudsman has revealed that ‘the NSW electricity market is broken and is not working for us,’ according to Lismore Labor candidate Janelle Saffin. And if elected, her government would re-regulate electricity prices, which would bring down costs to consumers. Saffin blamed the poles and wires privatisation by the NSW coalition as one cause of higher prices, and added that ‘30 per cent of people who live outside of Sydney in regional NSW saw very little of that money.’ The Echo asked Nationals MLC and 2016 election candidate Ben Franklin, ‘Do you concede your government’s energy policy has been a failure for consumers?’ The Echo also asked Franklin, ‘If Liberals-Nationals are returned in NSW next year, what guarantee is there that your existing (or non-existing)
energy policies will bring electricity prices down?’ Frankin replied, ‘Energy affordability is a priority for the NSW government.’ ‘That is why the government is developing a new Energy Switch service focused on providing a platform that will empower consumers to shop around for a better deal and increase price transparency within the energy retail sector. ‘We expect retailers to put their customers first by helping them with their rebates and providing lowest-priced market offers to ensure households and businesses are receiving the best deal. ‘The government is working with all the NSW electricity networks (through the NSW network reform program) to reduce both the capital works program and operating expenditure. This resulted in $7 billion being saved for NSW electricity customers since 2011.’

Locals call for referendum on Uluru Statement Chris Dobney A group calling itself Australians Say Yes to the Uluru Statement is calling on political leaders to include a referendum at next election for a constitutional change for a First Nations Voice. Local members are holding events in Byron and Lismore LGAs as part of a nationwide week of action. The Uluru Statement was the result of a constitutional convention in May 2017 that brought together over 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders at the foot of Uluru. The statement called for constitutional recognition of a First Nations Voice (parliamentary advisory assembly) and the establishment of a Makarrata Commission
(makarrata is a Yolngu word describing a process of conflict resolution, peacemaking and justice).
Labor, coalition won’t commit So far, neither major party has indicated they are willing to back a referendum. According to spokesperson Megan Edwards, ‘Labor say they will establish the First Nations Voice and Makarrata Commission through an act of parliament, but Indigenous leaders say it needs to go to the Australian people and be established through constitutional change.’ Ms Edwards added that a referendum would ‘also redress the power imbalance that has happened through colonialism’.

Sewerage pipes to be camera tested, again Paul Bibby Over the next three months, Mullumbimby’s ageing gravity mains sewerage network will be prodded and poked more often than an in-patient at a teaching hospital. But is the barrage of tests really worthwhile, or will it simply confirm what Council staff and a large proportion of the town already knows – that Mullum’s old gravity mains system is stuffed? Former local sewage treatment plant operator Alan Dickens thinks so. ‘I don’t know what is to be gained by this,’ Mr Dickens said of the upcoming works. ‘They [already] have telemetry data on pump run hours, pump capacities, rainfall and inflow… so what more will this tell them?’ The test that really gets Mr Dickens’s goat (and the goats of more than a few other locals) is the plan to do
another round of in-depth investigation with a camera. This type of test is somewhat similar to a colonoscopy, with a small camera shoved along the drains to see if there are any obstructions, cracks or other assorted broken bits. Mr Dickens said a similar test was undertaken in the early 2000s and confirmed, even that far back, that Mullum’s old clay pipes were not in a good way. ‘Those mains were tested with a camera back then and they’ve been smoke tested twice,’ he said, referring to the process of pumping smoke down into the sewerage pipes to identify leaks. ‘Internal reports were submitted at the time [which indicated] that the gravity mains were stuffed. I fail to see the point in camera testing the mains again – it will only show the same thing.’ Along with the camera
testing, Byron Shire Council has hired a private company to closely monitor flow through the system using hi-tech sensors and to install a new rain gauge. There will also be socalled ‘draw down’ testing – another method of determining how much water is flowing into the sewerage system from outside sources such as stormwater. Council was unable to provide a figure for how much the camera testing would cost and there was no figure in the relevant Council documents to indicate this nor the cost of the tests overall. While some locals see the testing as throwing good money after bad, others see it as a necessary step toward finally fixing the mains. Duncan Dey, a civil engineer specialising in water and a member of Council’s Water, Waste and Sewerage Advisory Committee, said the current state of the mains
needed to be confirmed so that funding could be allocated. ‘In terms of the camera testing, it’s been 15 years since that other testing was done. Things may have changed in that time,’ Mr Dey said. ‘In terms of the testing more generally, I think let’s just get it done and then we can take the next step. ‘I’m already convinced that it [the system] is stuffed – it’s a raw fact.
Status needs ĈşŕǕ ſŔëƐĶşŕ ‘But its current state needs to be confirmed otherwise we will never get any funding support from anywhere. ‘Even for Council to allocate its own internal funding it needs to have up-to-date data.’ Byron Council’s relevant officer is on leave and so no response was provided.

Marketing PM spins authenticity The Byron Shire Echo Volume 33 #22 • November 7, 2018
Byron’s latest addition A push to perhaps create more traffic havoc in Byron’s CBD will be before everyone’s favourite non-elected government appointed planning panel on Wednesday November 14 at Council’s Mullum chambers from 10am. It will be determined by the Northern Joint Regional Planning Panel (JRPP), who recently let a major Ewingsdale Road medical centre sail through without much fuss. While the panel’s determination of West Byron languishes on, here’s another piece of inappropriate overdevelopment residents might want to know about. The corner block opposite Mitre 10 and Byron Music on Jonson Street is slated to become ‘commercial premises, cafe, childcare centre, shop-top housing and serviced apartments with associated carparking.’ The Echo reported on this in 2017; specifically it would contain 24 residential apartments in three levels above the shops and cafe, 26 serviced apartments (tourist accommodation) in three levels above the childcare centre and a two level basement for 122 car-parking spaces, ‘as well as bicycle and motorcycle parking, with access off Ruskin Lane.’ Late last year, realtor/developer Graham Dunn stood by his decision to remain on the Byron Bay masterplan leadership team while also proposing the $21m project, but eventually quit the masterplan group. Interestingly the $21m figure pushes it just over the amount needed to be considered by the JRPP, effectively bypassing the democratically elected Council. Available on the JRPP website, the Jonson Street Mixed Use Development DA is 584 pages in total and comes in four parts. So what do Council staff think? According to their evaluation report contained in the DA, it should go ahead with conditions, yet they say a key consideration is height. Four storeys are proposed, adjoining Jonson and Browning streets. They write, ‘The building appears as a three-storey building from Jonson Street and Browning Street, with the ground floor of the childcare centre being partly lower than natural ground level’. Additionally the ‘setbacks to the northern boundary are problematic, in that non-compliance with the apartment guide and the lack of vertical ‘breaks’ of floors above ground present an imposing bulk for the neighbouring property.’ Oh and there’s a request to exceed floorspace ratios. But it all can be justified as it will miraculously add value to the residents and visitors of the town. Or will it? It’s a timely reminder that big developments in NSW have a fairly safe passage under both Labor and the Liberal/National coalition. MPs from both parties – when asked – have refused to scrap the JRPP and their reasoning is pissweak. State election time is March 2019. Hans Lovejoy, editor News tips are welcome: editor@echo.net.au
T
he French playwright Jean Giradoux once said something to this effect: ‘If you can fake sincerity, you’ve got it made.’ The insight immediately went viral – well, as far as it could in 1935. It was picked up by comedians, actors and marketeers, which was why it inevitably came to our current prime minister’s attention. However, even ProMo ScoMo apparently realised that in the circumstances, sincerity was an impossible dream – in the wake of recent events it would never pass the pub test. So instead, Scott Morrison and his army of spin doctors settled, as always, for the second-best option: authenticity. By this they mean that if the punters see enough of their prime minister going to the footy on Saturday and church on Sunday, drinking beer in public more often than is strictly necessary and parroting Alan Jones by using the homely colloquialism fair dinkum for dispatchable (which isn’t a real word anyway) when he actually means coal-fired, they will think he’s just one of them, but more successful. This may or may not be a winning strategy; there is considerable evidence that the electorate like to see their leaders as rather more able than their own fallible efforts. But in any case, more than a few voters might see that there is more to political authenticity than simply making chit chat in a hard hat on television. The word authentic actually means reliable, trustworthy, entitled to acceptance and belief; and Morrison’s relentless attempts at ordinariness invite the belief that he is indeed pretty run of the mill. But authenticity requires rather more substance than that, and there is no sign that Morrison is prepared to address the need to include it in his policy prescriptions. His embarrassment at having to admit that yes, he did ask Malcolm Turnbull to talk to Joko Widodo in Bali about moving the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem – it wasn’t, as he had previously agreed with Jones, an act of deliberate sabotage – was one problem last week, and the one that swamped much of the rest of the political news. But there were others, notably the Forrest Gumpish rejection by the previous education minister, Simon
Birmingham, of peer-approved research grants because he thought the names would sound funny to the readers of the Murdoch press. I have no idea whether the projects would have produced worthwhile results or not – but nor does Birmingham, who showed no sign of reading beyond the title pages. The whole point of research is not to know in advance, but to find out. So to waffle about whether it is in the national interest, by which the government means its own short-term interest, is not only premature but absurd.
Morrison says he accepts that climate change is real – up to a point. But the point is a ǔ ſŔ ĪƖōō ƆƐşż ƱIJĕŕ it comes to doing anything about it. Mungo MacCallum The expert examiners who approved it obviously thought it showed promise, but of course Birmingham, the new minister Dan Tehan and presumably Morrison knew better: roll on the culture wars. This is not authenticity but the rankest populism, naked demagoguery of which Jones would be proud. Which leads to the conclusion that what Morrison really means by authenticity is a cynical dumbing down of complex issues in the hope that the public will not analyse them too closely. And obviously climate change is the prime example. Morrison says he accepts that it is real – up to a point. But the point is a firm full stop when it comes to doing anything about it. Morrison has so far resisted the demands of the ‘stop the world we want to get off’ brigade of denialists in his party room and beyond, who want Australia to walk away from the Paris accord, and presumably abrogate or ignore any international agreements and treaties that the knuckledraggers do not like. But he has studiously refused to acknowledge the concern of the scientists, who insist that action is urgent and drastic if the planet is to remain in anything like the condition we would prefer. Morrison replies that Australia is
doing its part, to the extent that we will meet our Paris targets for reducing emissions ‘in a canter’. Virtually no-one else shares his optimism – once again the scientists are saying that not only is Australia lagging severely on its current commitments, but they need to be ramped up in the near future. It needs hardly be said that the prospect of that happening under Morrison’s regime is remote to the point of non-existence. But his stubbornness is truly authentic: he knows that what people really want is lower electricity prices, and if they say that climate change is their priority, they are either misguided or lying. Marketing is the art of convincing people that what they really need is whatever you are providing. Which is how Morrison is dealing with the children on Nauru issue. He has let is be known that he is, bit by bit, getting most of them to the mainland, which is receiving wary applause; but he won’t say what happens next – are they to have a swift medical check and be sent back? If not, what happens to their parents? What, if any, are their rights? And given that Peter Dutton is utterly intransigent about conceding them anything, what, if any, is the long-term solution? A leader who was truly reliable, trustworthy and entitled to acceptance and belief would at least attempt to answer those questions. Morrison’s response is along the lines of ‘don’t you worry about that,’ echoing another shonky leader who liked to think that he was authentic. This will not be enough in the days that follow. First, we have the Victorian election, in which the only New South Welshman the locals ever liked, Turnbull, has been punted with one they loathe, Morrison. Watch our prime minister authentically avoiding the garden state for the next three weeks. But then there will be the New South Wales poll, which he cannot ignore – the problem is that likely his state colleagues, Turnbull and Abbott, won’t either. And if that will not produce sufficient angst, it will lead swiftly towards the big one around May. How much authenticity can we bear? Perhaps ProMo ScoMo might gain encouragement from another saying of Jean Giradoux: only the mediocre are always at their best. At least that sounds as if he has a chance.

Letters waterhole with the kids in the back when you could get away with that. I’d like it back, please, from whoever ‘borrowed’ it because it also has great sentimental value. My brother, who is dying from cancer, built it for me. It’s metal grey in colour, and rego E9993. No questions asked. Can be dropped off either out front of Wilsons Creek School or where borrowed from. All will be forgiven. David Bradbury Wilsons Creek
Adani: Red Alert Adani has announced it has restructured its mega-mine plans so it can pay for it in instalments. This makes the devastating mega-mine suddenly MUCH more likely to go ahead. They’re desperate to get their project off the ground before the federal election and plan to get going before the end of the year. This catastrophic environmental disaster must not happen: coal is cooking our planet. Sign up to the Australian Conservation Foundation’s plan to bombard our coalloving PM and politicians with weekly calls in a mass coordinated phoning campaign
to demonstrate how we the people care deeply about stopping Adani. I urge everyone to get on ACF’s website and sign up to this well-targeted campaign – the pollies need to feel massive pressure to side with their constituents and #StopAdani! In addition, the #StopAdani movement is also planning a Fortnight of Heat 19 November – December 1. They are holding a webinar on Thursday, November 8 to plan creative community actions. Get involved people – this is urgent! Sue Vader Wilsons Creek
Stolen or borrowed? Someone stole my trailer – or did they just take it knowing that as a long time community minded local I wouldn’t mind it being ‘borrowed’ for a few days? It disappeared from Wilsons Creek turnoff near the golf course on Wednesday night. I’d left it there because I had to have my car fixed for rego in town. I’ve used it for the last 27 years to cart recycled materials to build our house at Wilsons Creek, countless loads of moo poo for our vege garden, gravel for our road and trips to the tip when we didn’t have garbage disposal up here. It’s even taken trips to the
West Byron journey In addressing the issue of the proposed West Byron development, it is useful to re-examine how that catastrophe of a development application (DA) was approved in the first place. The then NSW government planning minister, Pru Goward, rubber stamped the DA – site unseen. She never travelled to the region to look at the land or listen to the real-world issues about the site from locals.

regarding creating a ‘new stolen generation’ with her latest debacle of a portfolio: https://bit.ly/2JEzcBO. If current performance is any indication of past performance, this minister is great at creating an absolute mess. Perhaps the decision to approve the original application needs to be overturned based on the then planning minister’s improper approval in the first place? An approval that significantly lacked the appropriate checks and balances for a development of its size and scope. Isn’t it just possible that the whole thing was incorrectly allowed to go ahead in the first place? Tim Winton-Brown Mullumbimby

Byron Shire Council (BSC) endorsed a new licence agreement with Reflections Holiday Parks granting approval to operate (AtO) in Terrace Reserve Park on 20 September, subject to a special condition: option B. Option B states that there will be no further activity in the Southern Area Precinct, Coastal Cypress Pines Community, and all existing infrastructure, except the existing amenities facility, is
to be removed where safe. Yet the camping continues in the Endangered Ecological community (EEC) area. Reflections management has yet to respond to Council’s directive; and BSC’s compliance department has not attempted to enforce the rules or ensure future bookings have been cancelled. Nationals MLC Ben Franklin claims Reflections should continue to operate in the contentious area because the manager is ‘committed to ensuring environmental protections’. Is Mr Franklin suggesting Reflections can operate outside their licensed boundaries? The Echo states Ben Franklin ‘has backed his government’s controversial stance to allow commercial activity and current management to continue’. Who has ‘backed’ what? When was BSC’s licence agreement overturned and by whom? Minister for local government Gabrielle Upton, who is responsible for endorsing Council’s new AtO, provided $160,000 for the rehabilitation of the Coastal Cypress Pines Community just weeks prior to Council adopting the new licence conditions. It would be quite a contradiction for Ms Upton to allow camping to continue on
encroached land designated SEPP 14 Coastal Wetland with an EEC of protected Coastal Cypress pine trees. Camping activities in the EEC area have caused significant adverse impacts on the park environment, cultural and heritage sites and public amenity. There’s no consensus from arborists and little confidence in Reflections’ proposed environmental protections. Campers and tree preservation are simply incompatible. The decision by Byron Council to exclude the southern area of Terrace Park comes at the end of six years of negotiation with Crown Lands, instigated by then local government minister Don Page following BSC’s adoption of new AtOs in 2012. Terrace Park 2012 AtO also excluded camping in the southern area, which we are yet to see enforced. Since 2012, Council has made major concessions and endorsed new AtOs for Massy Greene and Ferry Reserve. In December 2017 Council gifted road reserve lands and Lot 7005, worth around $3 million, to Reflections for inclusion within their commercial operations. Council received no financial compensation for this land exchange. It’s time for Minister
Upton to step up and end two decades of Crown Lands’ pigheaded thuggery, and endorse BSC’s AtO for Terrace Park. Let’s rehabilitate our WWI memorial park and retain our public land for community use. With state elections on 23 March, now is the time for pollies to do something for our swinging Shire. Michele Grant Foreshore Protection Group
Open invitation Wakey wakey, Simon Richardson – Byron residents are tired of tough talk and inaction from the council on vanpackers and housing affordability. When you opened up the Butler Street carpark to free all-day parking you issued an open invitation to these freeloading vanpackers who park their vans there all day. There are a few who on occasion sleep in their vans and cars in and around the carpark. The council does not enforce the no parking between 1 and 5am rule except during holiday periods and even that’s rare. It’s about time Council put forward a levy on the rates of properties rented through Airbnb and other sites like Stayz. You should ▶ Continued on page 16

Articles Ceremonial handover for Fields of Healing festival Adam Collett
Day of the Dead Ceremony
There is an ancient Indigenous story about a time of great change, when a transition from male to female energy and leadership would take place all over the world. According to Minyungbal Yugambeh songman Magpie Yerrubilgin, that time is now, and we all have a part to play in it. ‘When this rock went past the earth two years ago, that was a sign that says we’ve changed from grandfather time to grandmother time,’ said Magpie.

Ends to beginnings ‘One story finishes, another story begins.’ For a world that continues to experience so much strife, it would seem that a changing of the guard has the potential to bring about the transformative shifts needed to bring a sense of balance back to humanity, and to the planet. ‘We’ve had all this male energy around the earth, but the earth is a female planet,’ said Magpie. ‘So now you have a female energy going around which is good for the earth.’ If women are to play a lead role in guiding humanity forward, what then for the men of this world? ‘This new time, it goes on thousands of years into the future, whether we’re here or not,’ said Magpie. ‘As males, our job now today is to support you (women), to protect you
Minyungbal Yugambeh songman Magpie Yerrubilgin and local youth media host and environmental activist Nini Dodds. and to help you out wherever needed.’ ‘This is our job now,’ he added. As the ceremonial host and guide for the upcoming Fields of Healing gathering of worldwide indigenous elders, Magpie sees a unique opportunity to pass on the wisdom and mantle to the next generation of female leaders. Local youth media host and environmental activist Nini Dodds is one of those seeking to receive that blessing from the elders at the event. ‘I think that the youth should really take this opportunity because it doesn’t happen every day,’ said Nini.
‘Now is the time to get this started, to get all of the knowledge that we need to keep going.’
A time of witness All are invited to witness and participate in a ceremonial handover from the male elders to the young female warriors at the event, which is designed as a unique family-friendly cultural experience for all ages. For tickets and the event program, visit: www.fieldsofhealing.com.au.

Book your installation now to secure the higher solar rebate

IF you’re considering solar, the time to act is now. Under the federal government’s Renewable Energy Target scheme, the rebate is set to decrease by approximately $300, based on a 6.6 kW system on December 31st. That’s a serious saving not to be sneezed at. To secure the current STC rebate, it’s important to know your solar system must be installed and operational before December 31st, taking into account that solar just doesn’t happen overnight. Once we’ve sized a system that is right for you, and you’ve signed your contract, its then over to the supply authority to apply for a grid connect, before installation can commence, so don’t delay. ACT NOW and save yourself some serious money before the December 31st deadline. The STC rebate delivers real upfront savings to Aussies moving towards renewable energy and is not to be confused with the feed it tariffs determined by your electricity retailer (that’s a story for another day). So just what is an STC and why do you need them right now? Understanding the federal STC rebate The federal government currently offers a financial incentive designed to encourage Australian homes, businesses and community groups to take up solar in a bid to meet our renewable energy target by 2030. This incentive comes in the form of an STC (small scale technology certificate) which is an upfront saving applied directly to the solar system at the time of installation. As the end user, you do not need to pay upfront or claim any money back, you are not out of pocket. The current STC calculation will reduce again at the end of the year and will do so each year until it is phased out in 2030, so if you’ve been considering solar, now is the time to maximise your upfront savings. Limited installations available SAE Group are working hard to install as many customers as possible before the December 31st deadline. With such high demand we have just 50 installation opportunities available between now and the deadline for installation. Secure yours today. SAE Group are a Clean Energy Council Approved Solar Retailer, who are committed to raising the bar in the solar industry. The team at SAE Group are Master Electricians first and foremost, so you can also rest easy knowing you’re dealing with highly experienced, qualified staff. From consultation, to quality installation, and after sales service, we are with you the whole way, and offer a 12-year workmanship warranty with every installation. We are genuinely passionate about the benefits of quality energy solutions designed to deliver you real savings. If you’re ready to take control of your energy future, and you’re looking for honest, trustworthy advice from your local energy contractor, call SAE Group today on 1300 18 20 50.

Law enforcement Could anyone please explain why cyclists in the Byron Shire do not have to wear helmets or have bells on their bikes? I have lived in the northern rivers for over 40 years and been a keen cyclist, even on our terrible roads. But it
seems neither the police nor the local councils are willing to enforce the law. Are we afraid (or just don’t care ) that we may offend the tourists? On-the-spot fines could raise a lot of revenue.

Congratulations It was with great pleasure that I read the tribute to Bridglands, celebrating 110 years of successful trading as a family-owned business in Mullumbimby. It brought back many fond memories of my childhood, which I spent in the district during the 1950s. GD (Dudley) Bridgland and my father, Clarence Blanch, were very good friends, who were both violin players.

Dudley often visited our home Burnside, now Shearwater, to play music. When my father acquired an old violin, a concert model with a Stradivarius label, Dudley kindly offered to restore it to its former glory. The violin is currently being used by one of my nieces.

The aspersions imply that Mr Foley harassed a female ABC journalist at a function. The problem is that nobody else, including the journalist, knows anything about it. And those notorious Sydney scandal sheets, The Australian and Daily Telegraph newspapers, led the charge – they must love getting sued by aggrieved plaintiffs. If this appalling display of gutter politics is a prelude to what’s coming in the run-up to the state election two things are certain; the coalition government is in trouble and they see Luke Foley’s leadership of the Labor opposition as a serious threat. Keith Duncan Pimlico
Women’s beaches Why not consider creating Tyagarah Beach as a Safe Women-Only beach? Even Freud was warned that there are times when a cigar is just a cigar. Women could bathe in nature free of sexualised narratives. Social space could be enjoyed free of the pressure of the male gaze. Land and property have more legal rights for protection than women. Women are expected to deal socially with violence and murder. Byron would be seen as socially progressive. The fact that Belongil, for decades, has been a space where women are driven away by sexualised behaviour of males is a story that has been left out of the current debate. DJ Faith Newtown
Disease of greed We love the northern rivers, it’s an area that contains beautiful beaches with clean water full of fish. It has some of the oldest forests in the world, wildlife as varied and numerous as any could imagine. The lucky ones benefit from the spirit in the area.
Seekers have been coming to the mountains for some time; the Egyptians didn’t come here for gold but as a place of knowledge and wisdom which is given freely to those who seek. We all can do with a bit of learning and healing in our lives; from the homeless suffering mental ill-health to those who suffer from greed (disease of more). We ought to aid one another for this is the base of happiness. Glenn Higson Goonengerry
Creating community On Saturday October 27, I travelled from the Sunshine Coast to Byron to see my granddaughter perform in The Sleeping Beauty by Byron Ballet. A wonderful performance. On my return home I unfortunately damaged a tyre at the roadworks on the roundabout at the corner of Ewingsdale Road and Bayshore Drive. I would like to sincerely thank the very special people who assisted or offered help. A special thanks to the everso-caring paramedic, also to Ben, the tow-truck driver from Simmos Auto Group, and Grant also from Simmos, who changed the tyre after the car had been transported to a safer location. I experienced so much care and concern from so many and exceptional service from Simmos and was able to return home that evening. Frank Sawyer Marcus Beach

Family expelled Veterans suffer again (SMH November 2, p5). Soldiers have been sacrificed by nations for commercial windfalls forever. Our own were no different these last 120 years. Unprotected by the wisdom of age, their youthful ideals and courage condemned them to senseless slaughter. If they return chronically traumatised and unfit for work they may usefully contribute further to establishment fortunes by rhythmically feeding poker machines in lonely, empty temples. When will we cease believing that the annual rituals in honour of the fallen are a sign that authority cares? The Bird family of ex-services people, banished by Border Farce, proves otherwise. This was the tool created by the angry Abbott and the devil Dutton in service to their corporate manipulators. Hayo van der Woude Mullumbimby

Parents are depriving their children of vital interaction by failing to recognise how much time they spend glued to their mobile devices in public places, research by Monash University shows. In a study that puts parents under the microscope, PhD candidate Carrie Ewin says children are in real danger of losing their primary caregivers to mobile devices, which can have long-term consequences for parent-child interactions. Carrie conducted an observational study of 70 parents using mobile phones and electronic tablets in the company of their children at food courts and play areas in Melbourne shopping centres. This involved detailed notes being taken by an observer sitting close to the parents and their children. Parents were closely watched to identify how they used their devices while caring for their children, the way that children reacted when their parents used a mobile phone and how this affected their interactions. This included the tapping, swiping and speaking habits of parents plus their children’s behaviour, body language and conversation. ‘The reason for conducting an observational study was to help understand how parents use mobile devices and how kids respond, in real everyday moments,’ Carrie said. ‘Mobile devices are now a staple in our lives so it’s important that we understand how they affect parentchild relationships. Many parents honestly have no idea how much time they spend on their phones when their children are with them.’
Early findings of the study show that nearly 82 per cent of caregivers used a mobile device for more than 10 minutes. One caregiver spent nearly two hours absorbed in their device. Some parents also missed signs of danger, including children falling or wandering off, and many parents offered very little conversation or engagement. ‘One parent was so engrossed in their device – for more than 30 minutes – they didn’t notice their son hitting play equipment or crawling over furniture. Another didn’t see their baby standing up and falling out of a pram,’ Carrie said. ‘Another child was observed sitting silently and fiddling with a strap, without sharing any conversation, laughter or smiles for 20 minutes until she tried to get her father’s attention by giving him a hug. Even then, he still didn’t look up.’ A surprising observation was that
the vast majority of children recognised their parents were ‘busy’, yet chose to not play with or use a mobile device during the observed period. Instead, they opted to play with their siblings or occupied themselves in another way. However, some children attracted attention through provocative behaviours – raising voices, calling out and annoying siblings. Despite being well-intentioned, the majority of parents’ responses were flippant or ignored their child’s needs. ‘There has been a lot of commentary about parents losing connection to their children as mobile devices take hold of their lives. This study reveals that parents struggle to engage with their children when they have a mobile device and often model the absorbed and distracted behaviour that children are criticised for. ‘This research calls on parents to balance their device use and actively engage with their children during everyday moments like eating and playing,’ said Carrie. ‘High levels of parental absorption with mobile devices may significantly impact on parental responsivity, nonverbal gestures and shared language. Parent-child language is essential for the formation of children’s early language skills and also has many other developmental benefits such as bonding and learning to regulate emotions.’

Vale, Trevor Sleep, Byron community stalwart David Sweet The Byron community lost one of its stellar contributors this week. Trevor John Sleep was born in Broken Hill on August 28, 1951; he spent his years growing up in Adelaide and had a life of adventure and surprises. Early on he realised his life was about challenges, new horizons and doing. Trevor joined the Navy at 15 and served both in Australia and overseas as a radio operator. After a decade in the navy Trevor moved to Sydney where he quickly found he had the aptitude and skills for corporate life. Trevor moved rapidly through the ranks into a senior position with Canon. He landed in the northern rivers in 2000 where his warmth and generosity ensured he quickly made many close friends. Trevor was enthusiastic about many aspects of life and this is reflected in the wide range of friends he ‘collected’ from all political persuasions and occupations. When he finally retired from operating many successful businesses, including the Red Rock Café in Lennox Head, Trevor threw his
enthusiasm and determination into volunteering for the community. In 2006 Trevor was thrilled to discover he had a 34-yearold daughter and two granddaughters. He enjoyed making up for lost time. His 17-year relationship with Jeana gave them much joy and they enjoyed travelling to fabulous places around the world. Trevor became a Byron Community Centre volunteer in 2013 and he was instrumental in establishing a number of new projects that will benefit our community beyond his passing. His financial nous was vital to the ongoing success of the No Interest Loans Scheme (NILS). He was treasurer of the Community Centre from 2014 to 2016.

Even after he stepped down from the committee owing to ill health, he was organiserin-chief during the installation of the new seats at the Byron Theatre. One of his last major contributions was to set up of the Coffee Box. This combined two of his loves: the Community Centre and coffee. Despite having cancer for a number of years, Trevor still continued to contribute in his capable, kind and warm way. Trevor is survived by his sweety Jeana, sister Lyn, daughter Elizabeth; and Nash, Ramona, Naomi, Tony, Isaiah, Laila, Isabella, Aleya and Vincent. Our lives and the lives of the Byron community have been enriched by his life and his generous contribution – thank you, Trevor. mşưĕŔćĕſ Ǯǽ ǩǧǨǯ The Byron Shire Echo 17

In the main arena we also have the Chincogan Store Tug-o-War team event for the first time. The teams of four will battle it out for a $200 cash first prize plus bragging rights as the Champion Tug-o-War team,’ said Janelle with a laugh.

([ Q The Sculpture Walk from the Mullumbimby Scout Hall to Federation Bridge in Mullumbimby will be the other charity that the show is supporting. The Sculpture Walk now has two permanent sculptures, and a third sculpture, based on the idea of the Spirit of Chincogan, that will be in place earlier next year. There are 13 sites for permanent sculptures on the Sculpture Walk that Creative Mullum and the Mullum Chamber will fund sculptures for in the future. The Sculpture Walk will also have 25 temporary sculptures erected for its inaugural sculpture walk during the Mullumbimby Music Festival on the weekend of 14–17 November.

Our current secretary Tanja Branson is stepping down from the role after this year’s show,’ said Janelle Parrington.

The heavens have opened – Open Table catering By: S Davey Open Table is a Byron Bay catering service creating dishes that are an exotic alternative to the usual function food. They showcase the many facets of international fare – from contemporary European, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, North African, and Asian influences. Their menus include: Indian Feast, Mexican Fiesta, Moorish/ Middle Eastern, Byron Bay Hinterland BBQ, Tapas and more. There is also an extensive and delicious range of dessert choices. Another catering option is the Breakfast menu, which could be very welcome as a unique event to
give, or a soulful start to the day after the night before. The Moorish selections feature strongly at Open Table; it’s a cuisine that has had substantial influences on dishes across many regions, and eating them is a gastronomic gift! Owner and head chef Ronit Rabbaz has Morroccan heritage and has lived in a number of overseas locations, making her highly qualified to bring people the many cultural features of Moorish food and international fusion cuisine. Open Table have a policy of using fresh, local, organic where possible ingredients: you will see Alstonville chicken, Nimbin Dairy cheeses, Stone & Wood beer batter, Byron
Bay tempeh, Casino lamb, Bangalow duck, Myocum ricotta and locally grown fresh produce on their menus. They also have a ‘preparation onsite’ policy, which means vibrant looking and tasting spreads. I have attended a number of events that were fully catered by Open Table, with impressive selections and really flavoursome food, but they also have other catering options. I have been to one party where Open Table boosted the host’s menu with a couple of exotic dishes. With the festive season approaching, a catering service may be just what you need for the end-ofyear celebrations. You could also give someone,
or yourself, the fantastic gift of an Open Table Cooking Workshop – these relatively new classes come with rave reviews and returning customers. There are many workshop themes such as Moorish Tantalising Tastes, Paleo Mediterranean, and Exotic Vegetarian Feast to name a few.

Ray White Byron helping Companion Animals Welfare this festive season This Christmas, Ray White will continue its popular tradition of giving with the return of ‘A little Ray of giving’. The inspiring Christmas campaign will see Ray White Byron Bay partner with Companion Animals Welfare Inc (CAWI) to help rescue animals this festive season. About CAWI: CAWI aims specifically to provide care and find homes for unwanted or surrendered animals, rehabilitate orphaned, sick, or injured animals without owners, in addition to promoting responsible pet ownership and providing information to the general public on the welfare of, and prevention of cruelty to, animals. The Ray White team are calling on the local community to embrace the giving season and dig deep for
this fantastic cause. ‘This is the sixth year that Ray White have run A Little Ray of Giving and we want 2018 to be our biggest year yet. When you see our Christmas tree go up, we urge everyone who is able to bring in a gift (pet treats /
animal beds / dog toys / or a cash donation) to support this wonderful local charity,’ said principal, David Gordon. The gift drive is a way to give back to a wonderful local charity who have been active for over 15 years in our community, and David Gordon said it’s as simple as can be. ‘All you need to do is wrap up your doggy present and drop it under the tree into our office reception,’ said David. Ray White Byron Bay, located at 15 Fletcher Street, Byron Bay, will have their special giving tree in their front office and will be collecting gifts and cash donations from 1 December 2018. David Gordon added that just a small donation can make the biggest difference to charities at this time of year.
PĕŕëōƐĶĕƆ Īşſ ĈĕſƐĶǕ ĕſƆ Matt Kean, the NSW minister for Better Regulation, announced tougher penalties for building and development certifiers under laws that aim to clean up the industry and give confidence to the community and homebuyers. The reforms passed in Parliament this week would allow the NSW Government to come down hard on dodgy operators. ‘We’re closing a number of loopholes that shonks were taking advantage of under the old legislation, and making it harder for them to rort the system,’ Mr Kean said. ‘For example, it wasn’t illegal to have a conflict of interest in a project, but we’re now making that an offence with harsh punishments.’ Changes in the Building and Development Certifiers Bill 2018 include: New compliance and enforcement powers for the Secretary of the Department of Finance, Services and Innovation to monitor
compliance, and have the right to suspend or cancel a certifier’s registration and take immediate disciplinary action; Strengthening the Code of Conduct and introducing provisions where certifiers must not have a conflict of interest, such as a pecuniary interest in a development; Fines of up to $110,000 for body corporates and $33,000 for others who don’t have adequate insurance; Extended licence durations from one year, to up to three or five years, for certifiers who do the right thing, under approval from the Secretary; and, Certifiers will have the right to seek a review of any disciplinary action through the Tribunal to ensure an appropriate appeals process is in place. ‘Under the tough penalties, certifiers who issue false or misleading certificates, or accept a bribe, could face a maximum penalty of $1.1m and/or two years’ imprisonment,’ Mr Kean said.

Pretty Permanent Creek 7 Left Bank Road, Mullumbimby $759,000
A rare find indeed. The first time offered in over 60 years, this magnificent example of “mid-century Mullumbimby� has been a home of quality since the day it was conceived with many features prized and sought in today’s market. The home is not just double brick, every wall inside the home is brick. Among the many unspoilt features of the home are the freshly polished timber floors, timber sash windows, high ceilings with moulded plaster cornice, terracotta tile roof, French doors and the list goes on. There’s a real story to this property and the names inscribed on the inside of the sandstock garage is nostalgia if not intriguing. The reluctant sale of 46 Main Arm Rd by this local family opens up an opportunity for a new family to enjoy and create their own history in this great old home.

This is a rare chance to grab a beautiful creek side acre in Mullumbimby. It’s with a heavy heart that the owners have decided to downsize from what has been the perfect place to bring up their children. The home is family sized and suited with privacy from the street and recent renovations have updated the kitchen and bathrooms so there’s nothing to do. Fully landscaped grounds are adorned with mature plantings including an abundance of healthy fruit trees. Established garden beds and paths wind through the property down to a shaded frontage to the permanent creek. The town centre, schools and sporting fields are all a short walk away. A fully serviced 40 square metre steel framed shed at the back of the house is perfect for storing and tinkering and 3.7kW of solar power will make keep the bills down. A great property that gives you both convenience and space. Inspect: By Appointment Contact: Todd Buckland 0408 966 421 Byron Shire Real Estate

SEQUINS, TRUTH BOMBS & DANCING – THE MAMAS COME TO MULLUM MEET SUGAR MAMA (EMILIA), SMOKY MAMA (ISOBEL), AND SPICY MAMA (KAITYLYN). ALONG WITH SAUCY MAMA (ABBEY) THEY ARE THE FRONT LINE OF MELBOURNE’S SASSIEST SOUL, HIP-HOP AND RNB OUTFIT: THE MAMAS. THEY ARE HEADING TO MULLUM MUSIC FESTIVAL, AND THE ECHO GOT TO KNOW A LITTLE MORE ABOUT WHAT MAKES THE MAMAS TICK.
My Mama told me… Emilia (Sugar Mama): My Mama told me that you can do or be anything if you work hard enough. And to not whistle in the house or you’ll lose money, one of many old Russian wives’ tales she tells. Isobel (Smoky Mama): ‘You should shave your legs,’ to which I replied, ‘Nah, I’m good. #pinktax’ Kaitlyn (Spicy Mama): To make the best out of any situation you’re in, to take every opportunity when it comes to education and to treat everyone with kindness and respect. Also to put my shoulders back.
Every night before I go to bed I… Emilia (Sugar Mama): Have a big cup of chamomile tea and a li’l biscuit, and pat my giant gentle lassie dog Chester. Isobel (Smoky Mama): Put on a Harry Potter book-tape and moisturise my face with the blood of my enemies. Kaitlyn (Spicy Mama): After a Mamas gig I generally peel off my false lashes, smash some strawberry milk and some toast, have a 2-minute shower, and whack on some moisturiser before crashing into bed.
Okay, you’re coming to Mullum; you’d better know how to hug. What’s your secret to a great hug? Emilia (Sugar Mama): Making sure it’s as motherly and nurturing as possible; laying their head on your breast and cradling them like a child gives the best results. Isobel (Smoky Mama): Ample flesh and strong arms. Kaitlyn (Spicy Mama): Gently humming or singing them a special song as you cradle them.
If I were in a rap battle I’d… Emilia (Sugar Mama): Badly recite one or two lines that are poorly formed together from a rap I distantly know. But do it with pizzazz and confidence, so no-one would second-guess that I am pretty bad at rapping, and definitely the worst rapper out of the Mamas. Isobel (Smoky Mama): Bring the house lights down, light a candle, pour myself a glass of whisky, and delve into some slow, passionate spoken word. And then probably say something to my opponent like, ‘I’m a lover, not a fighter’. Kaitlyn (Spicy Mama): Invite the spirits of our great Lords Nikki Minaj, Cardi B and Princess Nokia to possess my body.
What I love about being one of The Mamas is… Emilia (Sugar Mama): O n t h e surface, bringing joy to people with a rowdy show and having an excuse for a bountiful costume wardrobe. If you go deeper, really the best thing is giving a voice to issues that are close to home. Having a platform where people will actually listen is a blessing. Isobel (Smoky Mama): We’ve found a way for us to connect with our audience through music and comedy, and still deliver truth bombs, and I have also formed some of the strongest and most reliable working/social connections in my life. We all try our best to look out for one another and, creative industries being as volatile and emotionally draining as they are, this kind of support network is essential. Kaitlyn (Spicy Mama): I love feeling empowered and I love feeling heard. We
have so much fun both on stage and behind the scenes, these girls are my sisters and the band are all bloody incredible people inside and out. Not to mention our incredible fanbase and the connection I feel with the audience. Nothing feels better to me and words can’t quite describe it.
At Mullum Music Festival this year get ready for… Emilia (Sugar Mama): Glitter, spice, and a healthy balance of naughty and nice. Isobel (Smoky Mama): The entire bloody lineup! It’s gonna be so fun that I’m literally wetting myself with excitement. Kaitlyn (Spicy Mama): Sequins, truth bombs and dancing. The Mamas are at Mullum Music Festival next weekend! 15–18 November. Opening night sold out weeks ago so get your tickets now. mullummusicfestival.com

BUBBLE BUBBLE MERCH AND BUBBLE
Apparently we are moving to a new realm. It’s been a few years since my last Star Trek episode but I guess that’s like another dimension. No-one has properly explained it yet. Esoterics talk about the ‘evolutionary shift’ and ‘the transformation’ but they don’t really tell you what it is or how it happens. I think because it’s bullshit, especially for esoteric refugees like myself, who clearly won’t be taken on board the mother ship. (Imagine being in another dimension with EVERYONE who believed in another dimension! Kill me now!) Okay, esoteric brethren, can you please tell us what you are talking about? Do we grow wings? A third eye that can be used to charge our iPhone and teleport? Do we travel into space via the energy transmitted from the crystal vapour emanating from our arseholes? I’m left to wondering if it’s like The Rapture in the Bible, the weird acidy bit where the good people evaporate up to heaven and then the antichrist turns up for seven years of bad shit followed by the man we’ve all been waiting for – Jesus! Kind of like Spiderman with a beard and sandals. Sandalman. Okay, so what if Jesus doesn’t show up? How will humanity cross the threshold? If I can’t even manage to change my behaviour on Earth then how will I transform to a light being in the next realm? Good News! You don’t have to transform on your own. You can buy stuff to help you move across. The good people at Hermes Far Eastern Shining have the perfect merch for fuckwits who want to move to the next plane (sooner the better I reckon). According to their website, ‘The esoteric solution is here’. Thank fuck for that. I’ve been out the backyard on my trampoline jumping like a crazy woman hoping to Rapture up and all I’ve done is put my neck out. I thought I had good merch. We sell a book after our show and a reusable shopping bag. But the Hermes Far Eastern Shining people (you might also know them as The Water People) have merched the mother out of the next realm. I AM NOT MAKING THIS SHIT UP. You might want start off with an Archangel Wand. These are tubes with writing on them that sell for $85 each – $1,000 for the set. I mean why have just one tube filled with coloured water when you can get the whole bloody set! These aren’t ordinary wands. Harry Potter can suck it through a hermetic straw. You can use these wands to stir your glass of water and give what the website calls ‘Alchymeic Intention’. Which I think literally means you can intend to turn base matter to gold, but you probably won’t.
WILD MARMALADE AT THE BREWERY Wild Marmalade are the world’s original high-energy didgeridoo dance band. Fusing the ancient sounds of the didgeridoo with contemporary dance beats, their sound is a meeting of Si’s synth-style didgeridoo drones with the explosive beats of Matt Goodwin on the drum kit. Drawing on rhythms from all over the world and inspired by indigenous sounds and the grooves of the present, Wild Marmalade’s high energy shows uplift audiences with their display of powerful, joyous and infectiously danceable music. The original Wild Marmalade trio come to the Byron Brewery this Friday night. Warming up the crowd will be Rhythm Sunbird, followed by Wild Marmalade bringing two sets of infectious tribal dance music. This outdoor dance event is being held under the gargantuan fig tree at Byron Bay Brewery. Entry is free and it kicks off at 7pm.
music by Mark Butler, Mary McEvilly-Butler, Willie McElroy and other traditional local musicians. The fabulous Cape Byron Celtic dance troupe will also be putting on displays of Irish dance. All proceeds from tickets will go directly to The SHIFT Project. This local non-government-funded program provides a supportive environment where vulnerable women can make their own personal shift from disadvantage to empowerment. Since opening its doors The SHIFT Project has supported more than 30 women to sustainably transition into their community. Their unique model focuses on wellbeing, community connection and up-skilling as the way to end the cycle of homelessness. Their approach is holistic and tailored to the individual’s needs. All funding raised through this event will support the inhouse education program, which focuses on health and nutrition, budgeting, creative projects, and partaking in voluntary opportunities in the Byron community. For tickets go to: facebook.com/theSHIFTproject.
FUTURE FAKTORI Future Faktori present Freakshow at the Hotel Great Northern on Saturday. With only the best on deck, featuring Amastro, Gratis Minds, Xavier Mayne, Blac Carnival, Lil Witch, Robina, and 18-year-old Byron local Tai Daniels. Tai is proving to be a very talented producer/ DJ and draws influence from the likes of Disclosure, Flume, Golden Features, Hayden James, Mura Masa and ZHU. He has released several fire tracks, gaining him recognition in the Byron music scene and beyond. Saturday at the Hotel Great Northern in Byron. Tix are $18.90 on oztix.com.au.
THE SHIFT OF THE IRISH The Shift Project is getting ready to host its second annual Irish gig at the Byron Golf Club on Sunday 25 November. The afternoon showcases a smorgasbord of traditional Irish
Not enough to connect you with celestial beings from the ether? Well that’s because you’re not wearing your Hermetic Salamander. A $3, 240 pendant that claims to be a furnace of empowerment that transmutes encroaching negativity. Like if you were into this shit and you saw me coming, you’d want to be wearing your Salamander. There’s heaps of really ugly jewellery to choose from. And finally, the piece de resistance of cult merch – it’s the Sacred Body of Man Bubbler. It’s basically coloured balls on a plinth and retails for a man-bubbling price of $12,500. If you haven’t got a man bubbler, then you don’t know what you are missing. The pricey bubbler shouldn’t be confused with the Bunnings Bubbler. That’s just a water feature. The man bubbler claims to ‘be the key to unlocking the bodily density of mortal identification’. Whatever the F that means. I want to know who’s writing their website product descriptors, but when it comes to putting random New Age-sounding words together in a nonsensical order, the dude has fricking nailed it! I reckon it’s pretty well proof he has a Man bubbler. And the good news is when you go on holidays there’s a Travelling Bubbler. It reckons it helps shift your personal level of ‘gnosis’. Now this isn’t all the merch – there are octahedrons for $4,500, vials of coloured liquid that bring Eternal Light for $9,800! I mean it seems expensive, but you just can’t put a price on eternal light! You never need to replace a lightbulb ever again! I can just hear my husband complaining, ‘Mandy, did you leave the eternal light on?’ It’s fucking eternal dude. It stays on. Forever. So next time you see me after a show, I’ll be selling our Women Like Us book for $3,500. I call it ‘The Bullshit Bubbler’. Hey, they can take you to the next realm, but I can bring you back.

YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAKING OUT AGAINST RACISM
ENTERTAINMENT
THIS YEAR THE BYRON YOUTH THEATRE TAKES A LOOK AT RACISM AND PREJUDICE WITH THEIR NEW GROUP-DEVISED SHOW IN MY SKIN. It is a hot topic and I believe many community members would benefit from seeing what the youth of our community have to say about it. Why have you chosen to do a show on racism and prejudice? After our last year’s performance of Here Today (forum) and Gone Tomorrow, which focused on youth suicide prevention, we reviewed the evaluation forms from youth and community audiences and there were a high percentage who asked us to do our next performance on racism and prejudice. What point of view have you chosen to look at the issues from? We wanted to challenge ourselves and do something a bit different. I suggested we set the piece in a future world where no culture exists after watching to cast respond to a range of dynamic exercises. The cast loved the idea! A select few get to go back into The Past to witness what life was like and why the current ‘mentors’ (government) decided culture was too problematic. This gave us a strong framework to play with. How do racism and prejudice affect young people? Many members of BYT have experienced or witnessed some forms of racism and prejudice and so it was a very cathartic experience for us to share these in the development process. We also conducted research and interviews with other young people and related organisations, which highlighted the immense negative mental health impact it has on them. Of particular concern are those young people who have grown up with it all their lives. It becomes a negative frame for them which can have disastrous outcomes. Through recent media exposure we are
witnessing the devastating effects it is having on the children in Nauru. Where do young people find racism and prejudice the most prevalent? For some it is evident every day at school. For others they experience it in the community. With social media being so prevalent in young people’s lives they are exposed to more and more, whether it is direct attacks or viewing YouTube clips and posts that can be extremely disturbing. What kind of stories do you tell? The play moves between the New World and the VR simulations that take the audience back to Australia 1951 and our current day 2018. Scenes include the stolen generation, schoolyard racism against a Chinese student, oppression of ‘white’ Australian lawmakers, refugees, prejudice against Muslims, and institutionalised racism. What did you want the show to achieve? Our play is a wakeup call to everyone to start doing what they can to make a difference. In My Skin will be touring local high schools between 19 – 23 Nov with two public performances: Wednesday 21 Nov at the Byron Theatre and Sat 24 Nov at The Drill Hall, Mullumbimby. You can purchase tickets for Byron Theatre at the Community Centre, online and also on the door for both events. www.byroncentre.com.au

GIRLS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD! VOTE FOR ÁINE! WITH JUST A FEW WEEKS TO VOTE IN THE FALLS FOSTER A BAND, IF YOU HAVEN’T DONE ALREADY YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO VOTE FOR THE ARTIST THE ECHO HAS SELECTED TO CHAMPION: ÁINE TYRELL. WE’VE COVERED WHAT AN AWESOME MUSICIAN SHE IS, AND HOW SHE CAME TO MULLUM; THIS WEEK WE CHECK IN ON HER FEMINIST POLITICS AND HER MISSION TO BE ONE OF THE GIRLS WHO CHANGE THE WORLD… When the matriarchy begins everyone will… It has already begun. According to my beautiful friend Uncle Magpie, we are in a time of change from Grandfather to Grandmother time. A gentle handover, and evidence is already around that the time to feel women’s wisdom has arrived. Men have tried to control women because… There is nothing more powerful than a mob of women full of integrity and passionately united. What women underestimate about themselves is… That we are enough. That we are leaders. We always have been. Our wisdom and ways are not the ways of men who lead out front charging on. Women lead from within and we have what it takes to heal our world and look to all our futures. My dream is that one day young girls will… See themselves represented in every role, on every stage, on every screen, and in every seat. When I was a little girl I thought… I could be the change I want to see in this world. I am still trying. My Mama told me… ‘but still like dust, I’ll rise’. Maya Angelou may have told her, but my mother passed those strong words on to me and I will pass it onto my daughters. For me being part of the sisterhood… is women raising women up. Empowering, supporting, and cheering each other on. When we support one woman to shine bright we all shine brighter. Voting is still open at https://fallsfestival.com/byronbay/goings-on/foster-a-band/ and will close on Friday 23 November. Vote now! If you have already, get your friends to vote!

CINEMA REVIEWS STARS
BY JOHN CAMPBELL CHARMING Having endured the national ignominy of Australia’s fawning over members of the British royal family (did anybody hear Sam Pang say on TV’s Have You Been Paying Attention? that Prince Harry had given up on finding his biological father? I laughed like a drain), I reluctantly concede that princes are go, even for people other than teenage girls. But this movie is specifically for that latter group – and its premise is clever: Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White, voiced as bratty sorority types by Ashley Tisdale, G.E.M. (wtf?) and Avril Lavigne, have all, unknowingly, been kissed by the same prince, Philippe (Wilmer Valderrama), and each believes that she is engaged to him. For his part, Philippe is a bit of a drongo who, after being cursed as a boy, has tooled

around the kingdom breaking hearts. His dad, King Charming, threatens to disinherit him if he does not find his true love before he turns 21. Enter Lenore (Demi Lovato), an outlaw who has her eyes set on the King’s piles of gold. Calling herself Lenny and decked out in a fetching Sherwood Forest outfit, she sticks a fake moustache above her lip and, notwithstanding the boobs under her spray-on green top, it is enough for Philippe to believe that she is a boy. As the plot has been written for children, it would be uncalled for to suggest that who is going to end up with whom is as plain as the nose on your face. The dialogue is modern and there is only a minor unease prompted by the role-modelling being presented – then again, maybe it’s time we all took a deep

breath and considered for a minute that young women have not been indoctrinated by the patriarchy to like shoes and that they have arrived at that decision as free thinkers. The animation is gorgeous – every frame intricately worked and coloured – the characterisations consistent and the morality decent. With a soundtrack of bouncy girlpop, it’s an easy watch for any adult.
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY It is not every day that you see a movie that actually changes your long-held opinion of something. I was never much of a fan of Queen’s music but have been won over by Bryan Singer’s soft-centred telling
of the band’s story, with the emphasis on its charismatic lead singer, Freddie Mercury. The screenplay is formulaic, to the point of predictability – we meet the boy who is ‘different’, he is taken in by some guys
(guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor) who need a new frontman, their career goes from strength to strength, the boy’s ego has him leave the band and descend into a dark period before he then returns in a blaze of glory. We all know beforehand how it ended for Freddie, but Singer does not delve into the lurid details of his subject’s sexual extravagance (or drug taking – only alcohol is consumed). Instead he teases out the intricacies of Freddie’s relationships with the other members of the group, considered by Freddie as ‘family’, lifelong friend and confidant
Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton) and management team (there is a cute in-house joke made when, anticipating Wayne’s World, Mike Myers as a record company exec is told that Bohemian Rhapsody is the sort of song that teenage boys will turn up loud in their car and bang their heads to). Rami Malek nails it beautifully in the lead role – he looks the part, teeth included, and captures all the moves – while Gwylim Lee, Ben Hardy and Joseph Mazzello are more than just support players in the drama. The collaborative nature of musicmaking is emphasised and the grind of the industry, with its endless touring accompanied by swarms of hangers-on is exposed unflinchingly. But the mood is intensely personal and the brief scenes with Freddie’s mum and dad touch the heart. So that when the finale comes at Wembley Stadium’s Live Aid concert (1985), the effect is overwhelming. We Are the Champions is a total knockout, and Freddie Mercury rules, Okay?
ARIES: Uranus the Rearranger’s last visit to Aries this century offers a final four months to tweak the details on reinventing yourself: personally, professionally, creatively, financially, spiritually. Meanwhile, Jupiter packs the bags and sends you on a quest for the best way of combining authentic self-expression with peaceful co-existence. TAURUS: Tauran honeys love their money, so you’ll be interested to learn that opportunity-bringing Jupiter going ka-ching in your sector of joint ventures for the next year suggests that teaming up could turn your money green. This week’s new moon could even see you sorting the details of a deal… GEMINI: This week genial Jupiter fires the starter gun on your lucky love year, blessing you with affection from every direction: public and private, personal and professional. With partnering up, pooling resources, combining skills and sharing information looking like your success recipe for the foreseeable future, why wait when you can collaborate? CANCER: While Venus retrograde is liable to mood swings, this could still be a romantic week for the Crab clan, partnered or solo. If you have to take a project back to the drawing board, know that big-picture Jupiter in your organisation sector for the next thirteen months will be productive, successful and rewarding. LEO: Good-news Jupiter in your entertaining house of creative passion and entrepreneuring sends waves of opportunity, expansion, luck, adventure and much more fun your way during its year-long stay. But with this week’s Mercury and Uranus both mouthy and outspoken, watch you’re not sabotaged by your own runaway tongue. VIRGO: Uranus doing a four-month rejig of contracts and commitments is backed by this week’s focus on long-term finances. Jupiter in your home and family zone shines a light on solidified thinking and habitual attitudes, challenging you during the coming months to widen your perspective for a more inclusive view.

THIS WEEK JUPITER’S ONCEIN-TWELVEYEARLY VISIT TO SAGITTARIUS INVITES US ALL TO EXPLORE THE WILD AND WONDERFUL WORLD OUTSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE… LIBRA: Uranus backs into Aries this week for its final four-month window of opportunity to balance your give and take ratio in relationships – a chance that won’t present again in our lifetimes. For the rest of this year and the next, outgoing Jupiter is urging you to speak up on personal, local and broader issues. SCORPIO: As the sun and late-week new moon in Scorpio launch the official start of your personal astro-year, think about what you want to grow in the coming months. If it helps, Jupiter’s moved into the sign of adventure and Uranus is initiating a four-month re-evaluation of how you handle stress levels and self-care. SAGITTARIUS: Was 2007, the last time Jupiter travelled through Sagittarius, a standout year? Here it comes again to expand your horizons beyond the usual ways of engaging with people, finances, your interests and your job. Time to examine beliefs and behaviours restricting growth and understanding, to investigate new avenues of satisfaction and fulfilment… CAPRICORN: Uranus the planet of change in your family sector brings transitions and lifestyle shifts, while Jupiter’s busy for the next thirteen months tying up loose ends and saying sayonara to the past you’ve outgrown – all necessary prep to clear the decks before joyous Jupiter powers into your sign late next year. AQUARIUS: Uranus retreating into Aries reconnects you with your own like-minded tribe of inventive forward thinkers to revive something that’s been on the back burner. A chance that won’t come again this century, so now is the hour to hit the reset switch – especially with auspicious Jupiter supporting Aquarian teamwork and technology. PISCES: With Uranus giving your sector of work and earnings a final going-over, and auspicious Jupiter booking into your sector of professional success for the coming twelve months, there’s no better time to explore new ways of handling finances, career makeovers and budgetary innovations – which if you’re creative will all be much more fun than it sounds.

PETE looks sad because he is, still newly without a home, seen sitting in his “security hide out�, a carry box. What he dreams of day and night is for a lovely person to carry him away to a real home where the real (tabby) Pete will dazzle you as his friendly easy going, and happy personality blossoms. And then take that magical “after� snap. All cats are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Instead, the winner of the U/14 Open division had barely stood up from his final game before being loudly accused of bribery by the European Chess Union President Zurab Azmaiparashvili.

The win gave Gines the gold medal above Azmai’s Georgian countryman Nikolozi Kacharava, and Azmai immediately approached the board, yelling at Gines and accusing him of bribing his opponent. Azmai later submitted an official protest on Kacharava’s behalf,

which was quickly dismissed since the accusation was totally unfounded. Azmairaparashvili is the most disreputable Grandmaster in the world, having not only taken back a move to win the European Championship and participated in a rigged tournament to push his ranking into the top 20, but also having a reputation for violence. He assaulted security guards at the closing ceremony of the 2004 Calvia Olympiad and was sent away from the 2007 World Championship tournament in Mexico City after even more serious allegations. Yet he was recently re-elected unopposed as ECU President, a sad reflection on the state of chess in Europe.

Timeah leaps into for Byron XI Victorian ballet
Byron bowlers dominate district Good win
2018 Byron Tweed District Champions (L to R): Robyn Knaus, Linda Child, Mirtha Christian, Judy Wright, Kym Quinnell, Pat Bigg, Therese Hillard and Jeanette Beaton. Photo supplied After an impressive day of bowls playing at home the Byron Bay Women’s Bowling Club has claimed the 2018 Byron Tweed District Shield. It is the first time in over ten years that the local club has claimed the coveted prize. The Byron Bay team of eight bowlers played across six games without loss, winning five and drawing one. ‘It was a great achievement for a club of 26 women bowlers competing against the biggest clubs in the district,’ club memebr Mirtha Christian said. ‘Their commitment, dedication and self-belief were rewarded. Well done, team.’
Byron’s winning team included Reg Condie, Toby Schott, Steve Esposito, Dick de Witt, Calan Hede, William Green, Paul Bezrouchko and Johnny Brooker. Photo supplied

Backs to the wall win for Rams Christian Layland The Byron Bay Rams maintained their unbeaten record and first place on the ladder but they were made to fight for it in a 2–1 win over South Lismore playing at home. It looked to be a routine performance 30 minutes in as the Rams were already two goals up, but a spirited fightback from the Celtics gave Byron a genuine scare. The game started well for the home team when Zahi Addis was brought down in the box in the opening five minutes, allowing Ethan Archer to convert from the penalty spot. Byron soon doubled their lead following a wonderful run from Harry Barlow. The midfielder beat three South Lismore defenders before delivering a perfect cross for Addis to score his fourth goal in four games. Despite the dominant performance, things soon went pear-shaped for Byron when a rare lapse of concentration allowed South Lismore to score just before halftime: the first time Byron’s defence had been beaten all season.
Goalkeeper Pierce Essery was crucial to Byron’s defensive in Summer Youth League fixture. Photo Dogwhistle From that moment on, it was a backs-to-the-wall performance from Byron Bay. Struggling to maintain possession and field position in the second half, Byron were forced to batten down the hatches and hold on against a Souths outfit who were desperate for an equaliser. South Lismore needed a win to launch themselves back into premiership contention and they threw everything at Byron, but ultimately struggled to consistently penetrate a gallant

Rams defence. Their best chance came in the final minute when they looked certain to equalise but Pierce Essery pulled off an impressive double save to secure the win for Byron Bay. The match was a great learning opportunity for the young Byron Bay team who showed they had the ability to win tough matches when the situation needed it. Byron now have three away games in a row starting with a trip to Casino Cobras on Friday. Kick-off is 8pm at Colley Park.
Byron Bay Coastal League cricketers maintain their unbeaten record while the the third grade struggle for first win. Playing away at Seabreeze Oval against Pottsville Byron secong grade bowled out the home side for 54 in 24 overs, before taking the game with a reply score of 3/68 off 10.4 overs. Captain Toby Schott returned bowling figures of 6/18 off his eight overs while Lachlan Whiteford returned 2 /13 from five overs. Next week is a top-of-thetable clash against Cudgen at the Reg Dalton Field. The Byron Bay L J Hooker third graders lost at home to the Tintenbar East Ballina Weeds. After scoring 134 runs off 39.3 overs the home side could not get a wicket as the Weeds passed the Byron total in the 15th over without loss. This Saturday the thirds are at home on the Memorial Recreation Ground against Mullum Brunswick.

Timeah demonstrates a grand sissone. Photo supplied Dance Dynamics Byron Bay is excited for one of their previous students, Timeah Logie, who has just been accepted into the full-time program at the Victorian State Ballet. ‘Timeah started classical ballet training at 11 years of age and was a student with us until she was 14,’ Dance Dynamics director Kate Behrend said. At just 14 years of age she
was accepted into her first year of full-time training at the Queensland National College in 2015. Next year Timeah will finalise her training at a preprofessional level with the Victorian State Ballet. The next step from there is to accept a possible position in the Victorian State Ballet Company or audition for ballet companies across Europe.
Local surfers let rip
Ocea Curtis (far right) collects her prize with the other U/12 winners at Port Stephens. Photo Ethan Smith/SNSW Byron Bay’s Soli Bailey had a 17th-place finish at the star-studded HIC Pro held at Sunset Beach in Hawaii. He was up against a very strong 112-man field at the WSL Men’s QS 3,000 event. Bailey has improved his position on the WSL QS ratings ladder and currently sits in 19th position, which puts him in striking distance to qualify for the 2019 WSL Championship Tour. He will compete at the two remaining QS 10,000 events for 2019 in Hawaii. Lennox Head’s Stuart Kennedy will also be competing and is rated. Another Lennox Head surfer Mikey McDonagh had
a solid ninth-place finish at the Phillip Island Pro WSL Qualifying Series (QS) 1000 event. The event was hit with a large swell and strong winds that forced a location change to the protected corner of Penguin Parade. Ocea Curtis (Lennox Head) did very well at the Kaos Surf PRD Cadet Cup, coming third in the u/12 girls’ division. The Cadet Cup and the Open Women’s Pro-AM events gave amateur women and promising junior stars the opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the biggest names in women’s surfing. It all unfolded at Birubi Beach in Port Stephens.

There’s been an exodus from the Lismore Chamber of Commerce. Following the lost defamation case by Universal Medicine (UM) leader Serge Benhayon, five of nine Lismore Chamber of Commerce board members, who also are UM members, have stepped down. Mr Benhayon took Esther Rockett to court for defamation after she alleged he ran a cult, yet the jury found on October 16 many of Rockett’s claims to be substantially true, including that he makes ‘fraudulent medical claims’, was ‘dishonest’, ‘exploits cancer patients’ and has an ‘indecent interest in young girls.’ Q Q Q Q

In response to last week’s story, Voluntary breath testing at festivals about to fold, youth worker Nicqui Yazdi has pointed out that free breathalyser services won’t disappear from local festivals. She said, ‘Even if the STEER program does fold, free breath testing at festivals have been going now since 2010.’ This includes the Byron Schoolies HUB, which will soon kick off. The Echo hopes NSW Nationals Ben Franklin’s government – along with the two large local music festivals – can fully fund STEER. Q Q Q Q
